This was before my generation, but apparently nowadays, mobile phones in classrooms seem to be a problem. Therefore many teachers prohibit their students to have their mobile phones switched on during classes. Obviously, those who ignore these rules will have to take pedagogical actions. Anyway, a british student now invented a ringtone, that cannot be heard by adults.
It works due to the fact, that the spectrum of audible sounds in adults is more narrow than on teenagers: Adults can usually hear up to the frequency of 14 kHz, whereas young people are able to hear sounds of 16 or 17 kHz. Therefore the ringtone can be noticed by the students as a very high pitch sound. | 2019-04-24T15:47:47Z | http://emclog.blogspot.com/2006/06/inaudible-ringtone.html |

A flash flood and landslide ripped through the Mae La Oon Karen refugee camp on the northern Thai border early Sunday morning.
The sudden flooding killed one refugee, injured 11 and left 7 missing. The Mae La Oon refugee camp is located in the mountains surrounding Mae Sariang district, Mae Hong Son Province northern Thailand. Camp officials told Karen News people are in shock and trying to locate the missing and salvage belongings from destroyed buildings.
Saw Bway Doh, an official from the Karen Refugee Committee’s (KRC) Mae Sariang office explained to Karen News that the flash flooding and landslide took place at Section 1 of Mae La Oon refugee camp in the early hours on September 16, 2018.
Saw Bway Doh said buildings washed away included offices of a non-governmental organization (NGO) working in the camp, a Church, and the camp meeting hall. The camp officials are battling to organize health care for the injured and relocate people whose houses were destroyed.
Officials said NGOs and Thai rescues teams are now at the camp and have started searching for the missing people. The KRC and camp officials have organized emergency meetings to coordinate rescue and relief efforts.
It is not the first time the 9,000 residents of Mae La Oon Camp have had to deal with flash floods but this years has resulted in a death and the worst level of damage. | 2019-04-21T03:13:11Z | http://karennews.org/2018/09/flash-flood-and-landslide-at-karen-refugee-camp-kills-one-seven-people-still-missing-and-11-injured/ |
Per Archi was composed in 1983 and commissioned by the former “Chamber Orchestra of Heist”. Per Archi is a work in two movements, in which the composer pays tribute to Britten and Bartok.
Composed partially in “contemporary”, partially in “archaic” sound idiom, these four orchestra songs give musical expression to the courtly love poetry of Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Cavalcanti and Guinizelli in a lyrical manner.
baroque concerto grosso) as well as to the contrast between the three movements.
Per due Clarinetti ed Archi (4 Aspetti Sonori) In this double concerto, the two soloists are made to dialogue with the orchestra in different ways.
A short reference to the beginning of this double concerto introduces the Duetto Finale. In short chromatic cells, played in infernal tempo, both soloists show their talent. A few themes from previous movements come into play, which closes the circle. Both soloists now play an almost identical part at a different pitch. With this talented duet the work comes to a spectacular close. | 2019-04-23T18:55:00Z | https://www.janvanderroost.com/fr/oeuvre/252/colori-enregistrement-de-cd-2015 |

The 2019 BSC Annual Conference will be held at the University of Lincoln.
The conference will explore the potential prospects for Criminology to ‘bridge the gap’ between academic criminology and public discourse. It will engage with important questions about the role and value of Criminology during a time of conflict and divergence and hopes to provide meaningful reflections on the political realities of community, conflict and justice. The conference seeks to examine how criminologists can find and use their voice to articulate for collective good in an insecure world.
Taking place in 2019, the conference will explore what it means to conceptualise Criminology as a civic enterprise and address how criminologists might address issues of power, marginalisation, intersectionality and justice in the 21st Century.
We are offering a number of postgraduate bursaries to attend this year’s conference.
Each bursary will cover the full conference fee for one PhD student, and accommodation for three nights (2-4 July inclusive).
A letter of support from your PhD supervisor on institutional headed paper. This should also confirm that you are a registered PhD student and indicate your year of study.
Please make it clear in the subject line that it is a bursary application form.

You should not receive this vaccine if you have ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to any vaccine containing Japanese encephalitis virus.
What is Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine (SA14-14-2)?
Japanese encephalitis is a serious disease caused by a virus. It is the leading cause of viral encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in Asia. Encephalitis is an infection of the membrane around the brain and spinal cord. This infection often causes only mild symptoms, but prolonged swelling of the brain can cause permanent brain damage or death.
Japanese encephalitis virus is carried and spread by mosquitoes.
The Japanese encephalitis SA14-14-2 vaccine is used to help prevent this disease in adults and adolescents who are at least 17 years old.
This vaccine is recommended for people who live in or travel to areas where Japanese encephalitis is known to exist, or where an epidemic has recently occurred.
You should receive the vaccine and booster dose at least 1 week prior to your arrival in an area where you may be exposed to the virus.
Not everyone who travels to Asia needs to receive a Japanese encephalitis vaccine. Follow your doctor instructions or the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This vaccine is also recommended for people who work in a research laboratory and may be exposed to Japanese encephalitis virus through needle-stick accidents or inhalation of viral droplets in the air.
Like any vaccine, the Japanese encephalitis SA14-14-2 vaccine may not provide protection from disease in every person.
a weak immune system caused by disease or by taking certain medicines or receiving cancer treatments.
Vaccines may be harmful to an unborn baby and generally should not be given to a pregnant woman. However, not vaccinating the mother could be more harmful to the baby if the mother becomes infected with a disease that this vaccine could prevent. Your doctor will decide whether you should receive this vaccine, especially if you have a high risk of infection with Japanese encephalitis virus.
Do not receive this vaccine without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
The Japanese encephalitis SA14-14-2 vaccine is given in a series of 2 shots. The shots are usually 28 days apart. Your individual booster schedule may be different from these guidelines. Follow your doctor's instructions or the schedule recommended by the health department of the state you live in.
In addition to receiving the Japanese encephalitis vaccine, use protective clothing, insect repellents, and mosquito netting around your bed to further prevent mosquito bites that could infect you with the Japanese encephalitis virus.
Becoming infected with Japanese encephalitis is much more dangerous to your health than receiving this vaccine. However, like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; dizziness, weakness, fast heart rate; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
pain, redness, tenderness, or a hard lump where the shot was given.
What other drugs will affect Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine?
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.

← How do you get into that popular course?
Megan Duffy had a thoughtful post on not inducing anxiety in others. She mentioned the specific case of reducing anxiety in others by being really clear. Instead of saying something like meet me Thursday, say why. I agree that getting asked to meet a professor or a boss is a scary thing, so the detail she suggested is great.
For the moment, not anxious?
But today I’m thinking more about my own anxiety, and yours. Anxiety is so often a problem, we may lose sight of its positive side. So I think we should embrace our anxiety, for it is a big part of what makes us empathetic humans. I think anxiety is fundamentally a social feeling. We feel anxious if we think we will let someone else down. We could also feel anxious anticipating the reactions of unreasonable people. Miscommunication is also a rich field for anxiety.
What exactly is anxiety? What comes up on Google for anxiety is “a feeling of nervousness or unease…typically about an uncertain event or outcome.” Obviously life throws all kinds of events and circumstances at us about which we are uncertain and worry. I guess worry has to be the first cousin of anxiety. Together and in a helpful way, they can help us do what we should do, pay forward the debt to our future self, so she is as happy and fulfilled as she can be.
So the best thing to reduce anxiety is simply to do what needs to be done, so you won’t have anything to be anxious about. If you are worried about being late, be on time. If you are anxious about a test, study more. Oh, if only it were so simple. Sometimes you cannot do what you must do. Conflicting demands on your time can make you anxious. If I let anxiety run my life entirely, I would never do anything new or creative, just follow the demands others put on my time.
Sometimes anxiety gets higher and higher because not doing something makes you anxious, yet you somehow keep failing to do it. In this case, listen to your anxiety. What is it trying to tell you? Do you actually not want to do the thing you think you want to do? Or is it something else? Try to figure it out. A healthy level of anxiety we all need. Sometimes it will build up to nearly unbearable levels, simply to tell you you don’t really want that career, that project, that relationship.
In some ways, this is a very simplistic post because it is not addressing how crippling anxiety can become. But the basic message is not simple. It is that anxiety is a part of being human, so fundamental that no anxiety would be as troubling as too much anxiety. And our anxiety is telling us something. Listen and try to figure out what it is.

That transformation was behind the recent decision by the prestigious 60-year-old Shakespeare Quarterly to embark on an uncharacteristic experiment in the forthcoming fall issue — one that will make it, Ms. Rowe says, the first traditional humanities journal to open its reviewing to the World Wide Web.
Mixing traditional and new methods, the journal posted online four essays not yet accepted for publication, and a core group of experts — what Ms. Rowe called “our crowd sourcing” — were invited to post their signed comments on the Web site MediaCommons, a scholarly digital network. Others could add their thoughts as well, after registering with their own names. In the end 41 people made more than 350 comments, many of which elicited responses from the authors. The revised essays were then reviewed by the quarterly’s editors, who made the final decision to include them in the printed journal, due out Sept. 17.
The Shakespeare Quarterly trial, along with a handful of other trailblazing digital experiments, goes to the very nature of the scholarly enterprise. Traditional peer review has shaped the way new research has been screened for quality and then how it is communicated; it has defined the border between the public and an exclusive group of specialized experts.
Today a small vanguard of digitally adept scholars is rethinking how knowledge is understood and judged by inviting online readers to comment on books in progress, compiling journals from blog posts and sometimes successfully petitioning their universities to grant promotions and tenure on the basis of non-peer-reviewed projects.
The quarterly’s experiment has so far inspired at least one other journal — Postmedieval — to plan a similar trial for next year.
Just a few years ago these sorts of developments would have been unthinkable, said Dan Cohen, director of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. “Serious scholars are asking whether the institutions of the academy — as they have existed for decades, even centuries — aren’t becoming obsolete,” he said.
Each type of review has benefits and drawbacks.
The traditional method, in which independent experts evaluate a submission, often under a veil of anonymity, can take months, even years.
Clubby exclusiveness, sloppy editing and fraud have all marred peer review on occasion. Anonymity can help prevent personal bias, but it can also make reviewers less accountable; exclusiveness can help ensure quality control but can also narrow the range of feedback and participants. Open review more closely resembles Wikipedia behind the scenes, where anyone with an interest can post a comment. This open-door policy has made Wikipedia, on balance, a crucial reference resource.
Ms. Rowe said the goal is not necessarily to replace peer review but to use other, more open methods as well.
In some respects scientists and economists who have created online repositories for unpublished working papers, like repec.org, have more quickly adapted to digital life. Just this month, mathematicians used blogs and wikis to evaluate a supposed mathematical proof in the space of a week — the scholarly equivalent of warp speed.
In the humanities, in which the monograph has been king, there is more inertia. “We have never done it that way before,” should be academia’s motto, said Kathleen Fitzpatrick, a professor of media studies at Pomona College.
Ms. Fitzpatrick was a founder of the MediaCommons network in 2007. She posted chapters of her own book “Planned Obsolescence” on the site, and she used the comments readers provided to revise the manuscript for NYU Press. She also included the project in the package she presented to the committee that promoted her to full professor this year.
Many professors, of course, are wary of turning peer review into an “American Idol”-like competition. They question whether people would be as frank in public, and they worry that comments would be short and episodic, rather than comprehensive and conceptual, and that know-nothings would predominate.
After all, the development of peer review was an outgrowth of the professionalization of disciplines from mathematics to history — a way of keeping eager but uninformed amateurs out.
“Knowledge is not democratic,” said Michèle Lamont, a Harvard sociologist who analyzes peer review in her 2009 book, “How Professors Think: Inside the Curious World of Academic Judgment.” Evaluating originality and intellectual significance, she said, can be done only by those who are expert in a field.
The most daunting obstacle to opening up the process is that peer-review publishing is the path to a job and tenure, and no would-be professor wants to be the academic canary in the coal mine.
Although initially cautious, Mr. Galey said he is now “entirely won over by the open peer review model.” The comments were more extensive and more insightful, he said, than he otherwise would have received on his essay, which discusses Shakespeare in the context of information theory.
Advocates of more open reviewing, like Mr. Cohen at George Mason argue that other important scholarly values besides quality control — for example, generating discussion, improving works in progress and sharing information rapidly — are given short shrift under the current system.
“There is an ethical imperative to share information,” said Mr. Cohen, who regularly posts his work online, where he said thousands read it. Engaging people in different disciplines and from outside academia has made his scholarship better, he said. | 2019-04-23T01:22:26Z | https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/24/arts/24peer.html?_r=1&ref=general&src=me&pagewanted=all |

Kate graduated from the Mercy program in 2007. She came to Mercy Ministries struggling with an eating disorder, self-harm, depression and rejection issues. For the past year and a half, Kate has been on an amazing journey of continued restoration and truly living out the freedom she gained while in the program.
When she moved back to Kennesaw, Kate also got immediately involved in North Star Church as part of the leadership team over the young singles ministry. As part of their outreach, the young singles ministry reaches out to widows in the community. Kate volunteers her time twice a month to serve local widows through yard work and any other odd jobs that these women cannot do on their own.
Between being a full-time student, working with FCA, and being very involved in her church, Kate is a very busy girl! She is so grateful for all that God has done in her life and she is eager to give back in any way that she can through sharing her story and touching the lives of others. We are so proud of Kate and all that she has accomplished since graduating the Mercy Ministries program!!

Yet another sunny day here in Brussels and I really wanted to take advantage of this Sunday afternoon and take a feel trip to Hollande; well, actually a small city right across the border from Belgium. It’s nice from time to time to change the usual place that you visit and just try something new. Of course that I went to KFC as well, Belgium not having one unfortunately.
Anyway, back to the fashionable part of the day, I wanted to share with you guys the dress I wore this afternoon. I believe that all these dresses from Udobuy have a mix of glamour and elegance, but at the same time they make you look so chic ^^. What do you think?
The great surprise was that this dress is inspired by one of Katy Perry’s.

The iPhone just took over your living room (if it hadn’t already) with i-Got-Control, an app and IR transmitter combination that allows your iPhone to replace virtually any remote control. Just snap on the infrared adapter, download the application and then use the existing codes to program the phone to control all of your AV components.
Like most other universal remotes, you can also “teach” this remote using your existing remotes. The color touchscreen display of the iPhone isn’t going to give you the same tactile feel of pressing buttons like on a normal remote but it does have some advantages that a normal remote can’t touch like being backlit, nearly infinitely programmable, and it’s a freakin’ phone and mini-computer! Can your remote send emails, surf the web, and play games? Didn’t think so. Best of all i-Got-Control is competitively priced with other universal remotes.

Mortgage insurance typically cost around 1% of the total loan amount, every year.
This 20% of your mortgage is not a small amount and you may not have it saved already. If you have the money saved already, this article is not for you.
You try to save the amount or borrow it from someone else or borrow it from your own retirement fund.
The first step is to absolutely work the numbers and figure out your budget. While this is not an actual savings tactic, it’s a crucial step in the process because it gives you a concrete goal to work towards.
Knowing this number makes it a real goal and clears up the confusion and vagueness of having some idea of some large dollar amount, that’s probably unattainable anyway. Remember, half the battle is gaining mental clarity and setting the goal.
Remember, half the battle is gaining mental clarity and setting the goal.
Step 2 – Then use a home-buying calculator to plug in your numbers, and it will give you a better sense of how big of a home you can afford.
Zillow’s mortgage calculator is pretty helpful in helping you find this number.
Step 3 – To know how your potential creditors think you’re capable of handling, get pre-qualified. Do not look for a $500,000 home if you are pre-qualified for only $300,000. This is a reality-check step.
For simplicity’s sake, let’s say we did our budgeting and used the calculator to figure out that you can afford and qualified for a $500,000 home, so your down payment savings goal should be $100,000.
Now consider these tips to save up.
Now you can start to plan how much money you should really put aside each month.
You’ll also get a better idea of how long it will take to reach your goal. If you’re on the five-year plan, that means you’ll need to save an extra $20,000 a year.
Don’t panic, just break it down further. An extra $20,000 a year is about $1,700 a month, which sounds way less intimidating.
Keep in mind you’ll still need to continue saving for your emergency fund, IRA, and paying down debt.
You’ve heard this from me again and again: get a side gig, make extra money, work overtime, increase your income!
It sounds like generic advice but there’s a reason why experts dish out the same advice: it’s because earning extra money is a lot easier than drastically changing your lifestyle to scrimp and save.
Going this route is just not realistic or sustainable. Pinching pennies is not going to get you closer to the $1,700 each month, but increasing your income will.
This is going to take research on your part, but it’ll be worth it — just imagine how you will enjoy your dream house, and what the extra income will afford you.
The best way to start is to make a list of what you’re good at, and if you can leverage and outsource those skills during your free time to make that $1,700.
One of the items that your mortgage lender will look at is your overall DTI (debt-to-income) ratio.
If you’re carrying a lot of credit card debt, you might want to look into a personal loan to consolidate and lower your payment. Debt consolidation loans can help you have a single monthly payment at a fixed rate.
Not only does this help you eliminate debt faster, but it can help increase your credit score by up to 40 points according to Payoff.
If you’re able to reduce your monthly payment and increase your score, you’ll be in great shape to qualify for a mortgage.
After you establish that, any kind of extra money that comes in during the year goes straight into that fund.
This includes any bonus from your employer, tax refunds, Christmas bonuses, gifts, inheritances, lottery, gambling win, etc.
A 20 percent savings goal may be discouraging, especially if you have zero saved, but it can be done — all you need is a concrete plan and a savings mentality.
These methods are tried by people I know.
Try to find alternative areas where housing is cheaper and your present savings allow for you to buy a home there, instead of the dream location you previously thought about.
If you have valuable property elsewhere then sell it to arrange for mortgage down payment. This includes inherited valuables, foreign real estate, etc.
Putoff savings in your retirement fund for a couple of years. Redirect this fund to your home buying fund.
If all else fails, then go for mortgage insurance by paying only a small % of the loan, typically 5% only. But, be prepared to spend extra $100-$300 per month on mortgage insurance. You can start repaying the loan faster and as soon as cross the 20% ownership criteria, opt out of that insurance.
Start with determining how much down payment is required for your need, your credit and home location. Then divide the number by the months you’re willing to wait. Once you have the monthly savings goal, start by aggressively saving that amount from your monthly budget or increase side income.
You can also bring in additional money from selling some of your valuable stuff to reach your goal early. You can also consider lowering your goal by opting for a smaller home, different location. If you fail in your goal, down pay a lesser amount and opt for mortgage insurance.
Readers, let us know how you saved for mortgage down payment. | 2019-04-22T22:10:06Z | http://onecentatatime.com/tips-to-save-money-for-mortgage-down-payment/ |
Adweek: So what’s a digital-media tyro like you doing at a fusty old-media company like CBS?
Jim Lanzone: I don’t really think of it that way at all. People think the Internet will supercede TV, but it’s really been more additive than anything else, largely because it’s so portable. It’s not taking anything away from linear television; if anything, it’s encouraged people to spend even more time watching video.
AW: The fact that we can watch TV on a telephone: is this doing something insidious to the parts of our brain that process narrative?
JL: Think about the very early days of TV—the first shows were structured just like radio broadcasts or Broadway shows. You start with the familiar and you expand from there. Creative people haven’t taken advantage of the new media platforms; we’re still in this brackish time between two eras.
AW: You still watch TV?
JL: I’m a binge watcher. I have DirecTV, so I have a ton of shows on the DVR: The Daily Show, [Real Time With] Bill Maher, SNL. I’ve been watching How I Met Your Mother for six years. There are definitely more shows out there that I want to watch that I don’t have time to watch, which I suppose is a great sign of where programming is headed.
AW: Why did CBS issue a fatwa against Hulu?
AW: Can you write code?
JL: I never got into programming when I was a kid. I was too busy playing Pitfall and Kaboom! on Atari to write code. But then again, I don’t think Les Moonves knows how to make a television set either.
AW: So there’s no disconnect between the old media centers—New York, L.A.—and Silicon Valley?
JL: Well, you’re looking at it from a geographic standpoint and that really isn’t relevant any longer. I think Silicon Valley is the third leg of the media stool; I mean, there’s a reason why all the animated features are made in Silicon Valley now. Engineers are the new artists of this generation of media.
AW: Are you from Silicon Valley?
JL: I grew up in San Carlos, where Oracle now stands. In fact, they built Oracle on the old Marine World site. George Lucas used some of the elephants from Marine World in Star Wars, and after it came out—I must have seen it 25 times that summer—they started offering Bantha rides at Marine World.
AW: Speaking of which, what the hell happened to George Lucas? Those three Star Wars prequels were just god-awful.
JL: I know what happened to George Lucas: the ‘80s. If movies peaked in the ‘70s, then it’s fair to say that the 2000s is the Renaissance period for TV. The new Battlestar [Galactica] was at least a thousand times better than the old one. And I almost didn’t watch it at first because I was afraid it was going to ruin my childhood memories of the original. | 2019-04-24T09:14:15Z | https://www.adweek.com/digital/first-mover-interview-jim-lanzone-131128/ |

Architect Elisabetta Rizzato was born and raised just outside of Venice, Italy. After 31 years, it might seem safe to assume she’d bore of the sights, spots and surroudings of this great, tourist-rich locale, but rather, the opposite is true. Elisabetta continually discovers amazing new places and hidden gems which she shares on her blog ITALIANBARK, along with plenty of posts on interior design, and her work as an architect.
Start your day with the best coffee in Venice. Located close to the railway station, Torrefazione Cannaregio is a must.
Opened in 1930, this is the oldest coffee shop in town and offers many different kinds of coffees, toasted in-house with a big, old coffee machine. I recommend the Remer blend, a coffee you can only drink here as it’s a secret recipe!
Take a morning walk in Sestiere Cannaregio and visit the workshop of a marionette maker called L’isola di Pinocchio.
It may be hidden behind an ordinary door, in an ancient mezzanine, but here you will step into a magical place, surrounded by handmade marionettes by an amazing artisan.
Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop, in Sestiere Castello, is one of the most original bookshops in the world.
Selling vintage and new books, this place is literally filled with books everywhere, displayed in boats, gondolas, bathtubs, etc. It’s also located between two of my favorite corners of Venice: one is Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, situated in front of the stunning Scuola Grande di San Marco (which has since become the city hospital).
The other corner is Campo San Lorenzo. In this spot, you will see one of the three bent bell-towers of the city. The one of San Giorgio dei Greci church is almost as crooked as the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa! But, I digress. After grabbing a book, find a bench and enjoy it.
Before lunchtime, head to Rialto.
Cross the world-famous bridge and enjoy some fresh fruit and fish in the ancient market of the town, Mercato di Rialto. Despite being a very famous one, it is still a genuine Venetian market where you will find locals buying fresh fish. It has also recently been listed as one of the 10 best markets in the world by The Guardian. If you are wondering where the vegetables and fruit come from, they’re from an island near Venice called “l’orto di Venezia,” Sant’Erasmo, almost entirely covered with fields!
Enjoy sunshine at Le Zattere after an “ombra” (glass of wine) and some “cicchetti” (Venetian fingerfood), then head south for a proper lunch to Sestiere Dorsoduro. Here, you will find many bars and small “bacari” (typical Venice “osterie”) to enjoy something fast. I recommend a deviation to the Bacareto da Lele, a really small corner with amazing small paninis and good wine! It was my favorite bacaro during my university years and is still very popular in town by locals. Alternatively, enjoy lunch at Fondamenta delle zattere, at the southern edge of the city. Facing Giudecca Channel, it is the best place to enjoy the sun and take a long walk afterwards. Its name comes from the zattere, a la the historic rafts that were docked here to store the city’s timber. It is also the best place to enjoy an ice cream, maybe at Gelateria da Nico , loved by Penny Guggenheim and Angelina Jolie, and famous for its Gianduiotto. It’s also the best starting point for an afternoon stroll among the best shops!
Even if it’s crowded with tourists, Accademia area in Sestiere Dorsoduro has always been one of my favorites. It is really filled with culture and art and has recently become a real art-walk, thanks to the Venice Museum Mile project. Here, you can choose between contemporary art at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Punta della Dogana, historical paintings at Gallerie dell’Accademia, and many other museums and historical palaces…all within a one-mile radius! Don’t forget to visit Biennale and its collateral events between May and November!
Here, we are in the best area for some good shopping in Venice. Near Accademia, you will find some of the most original design shops in town, such as the incredible Fiorella Gallery (if you are lucky enough to find it open, as it doesn’t abide by regular hours). Within a few steps you will also find Venetia Studium, a historical shop selling wonderful fabrics, as well as the amazing — and often imitated — Fortuny Lamps. It’s very expensive, I know, but if you are a design-lover you can’t not love them! Next, head to Mercerie area, a trio of streets between Piazza San Marco and Rialto, for the most famous brands. This is the “shopping district” of Venice!
For aperitivo (appetizers) and dinner, head far from the tourist traps to Fondamenta della Misericordia, in a northern direction back to Sestiere Cannaregio. Here you will enjoy a gorgeous sunset. It is also one of the city areas where locals can relax, unwind and enjoy dinnertime.
Walk across the Judish Ghetto — one of the most fascinating places in Venice — and enjoy an aperitivo in one of the bars you will find along the Fondamenta, such as Vino Vero, a brand new spot where you can sip your wine outside around a briccole (wooden poles in the water transformed into small tables)!
In this area, there are also many good, affordable restaurants there are not too crowded. Here in fondamenta della Misericordia, you will find Paradiso Perduto, a typical Venetian restaurant founded by four students with a very spartan mood and fresh food. Five minutes from here, towards Strada Nuova, Osteria alla Vedova is another good spot. With its lovely, retro interior and its delicious polpettas, you will not be disappointed!
If you are still not tired after this day in Venice, you can head to another area of the city where university students hang out (I sure did as a student)! The spot is called Campo Santa Margherita, and it’s crowded with osterie and bars. On your way there, don’t forget to deviate towards another magical corner in Venice, Squero San Trovaso, where you will see the officina, one of the last gondola craftmakers left in town.
While this is just an overview (and maybe this day could last 48 hours, actually!), there’s plenty more great reasons to spend time in Venice… Just think, we haven’t even gotten to Piazza San Marco!
what a great guide to Venice! Bookmarking for my next visit.
Thanks – perfect timing! We are landing in Venice this June, after a Seabourn cruise through the Adriatic. Any suggestions for the best area to shop for antiques?
Wonderful suggestions :) I know Venice really well and I love (and know) about half the places you’ve mentioned – really off the beaten path and some stunning quiet corners – so now I’ve some new ones to add next time.
I would love to eat my way around Italy. Saving towards this dream trip!
The historic texture of the city is truly fascinating.
I would like to go with certainty in the summer holiday. | 2019-04-26T15:38:14Z | https://www.designsponge.com/2015/12/24-hours-in-venice-italy.html |

A few weeks ago, my husband and I went to see the movie “The Imitation Game.” It is the story of Alan Turing, a British scientist, cryptanalyst, and computing pioneer, and his development of a system to crack Nazi codes in order to significantly shorten World War II. It was both fascinating and brilliantly acted. Benedict Cumberbatch’s Turing breathtakingly transports viewers to another place and time.
As we processed through the movie over dinner, my husband (an engineer himself), said ,” He was a pretty quirky guy, wasn’t he?” I shared my hunch that Turing’s portrayal was indicative of someone with Asperger’s Syndrome, reviewing the nuances that led me to that conclusion.
I became intrigued if my intuition was correct. I spent the evening diving into blogs, websites, and eventually Autism activist sites, hoping to find the opinions of others. Although the term Asperger’s was not around during Turing’s life, I found there is great debate in the Autism community about the pros and cons of posthumous diagnostics. Many were passionate about the danger of applying labels to someone who is not alive to interview or participate in the diagnostic process. Others were equally vehement about the societal advantages of adding brilliant, world-altering people into the category of those living successfully with some form of autism. Before I knew it, I’d spent several hours drawn into to the debate and reading link after link, comment after comment.
I stopped dead in my tracks. DID it really matter if Turing is considered to have been on the autism spectrum? Of course not. A posthumous diagnosis does not change who he was, the impact he had on our every day lives in terms of computer science, or his undeniable shortening of World War II.
So why had I spent hours digging, researching, reading? Yes, it was out of curiosity, diligence, and an interest in the opinions of activists within the autism community, but I have to admit, ashamedly, that is was also part of my need to make sense of a highly unusual man. It was my need to put things neatly in a box, tied with a bow. I was disappointed in myself, quite honestly. I try diligently to spend my days helping teachers, parents, children look outside of the box, to celebrate their uniqueness, to be empowered to find their own way, and yet here I was, trying to fit someone nicely and neatly into a corner, giving a label some kind of power.
Shame on me. I should know better. Honestly, we all should.
It doesn’t matter. Diagnosis don’t matter. Yes, yes, they do help us answer questions, they can certainly help us obtain services, and quite often they can help us guide interventions. But when it comes to understanding, TRULY understanding, a person, his or her traits, his qualities, her heart, a diagnostic label is a grossly insufficient way to tie things up.
Brilliant, funny, loving, tender, energetic….these are the words that matter.
Child. Father. Brother. Sister. Uncle. Son. These are the words that matter.
In the midst of our diagnosis-laden, therapy-heavy world, sometimes we need to stop, take a deep breath, and really focus on was DOES matter. It is the true heart and soul of each individual, the rare and unmatched gifts and talents we all bring to the table, that determine who we are in this world.
What a month August has been! I have had the humbling opportunity to quite literally meet with teachers, parents and administrators across the country! From a large district in Cheyenne, Wyoming to a private school is Washington, D.C., teachers and administrators have been busily preparing for a fresh year of learning. From a small adobe school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to a school for unique learners in Tulsa, Oklahoma, bulletin boards are going up, pencils are being sharpened, and fresh books are being placed on desks in anticipation of students. From a district in Lexington, Kentucky, where teachers came during their own summer days to learn about children with learning challenges to a group of motivated and profoundly dedicated home school parents in Atlanta, Georgia, the 2015-2016 school year is underway.
OUR KIDS ARE IN GOOD HANDS!
My work affords me the unique ability to view education in every form in every state. It is a rare and sacred experience for someone like me, who has never dreamed of being anything other than a teacher.
What I know is this: Our kids are in good hands!
I am blessed to spend my days with teachers: Classroom teachers, home school teachers, public school teachers and private school teachers. Teachers who wake up every morning, pushing through the fatigue and haze of sleepiness to quickly grab materials together to create the lesson that came to them in their sleep. Teachers who have gone out and developed schools to meet the needs of other children who have challenges similar to their child’s. Teachers who have given up their own careers or person goals to stay home and educate their own children, even though it means seldom having a break or a second for themselves.
Teachers are a forced with which to be reckoned!!!
Aside from a mother’s ferocious love for her children, I know of few other earthly forces as powerful as the Teaching Heart. Thousands upon thousands of men and women face every day, ready to love, nurture and educate our children. Against increasing and ceaseless odds, they demonstrate dedication, energy, creativity, passion, compassion, mastery and curiosity. They spend their own time, their own limited income, and their own emotional resources to keep children engaged, loved and moving forward. They teach our children how to read, how to add, and how to share. They teach that art is essential, music is magical, and who you are on the playground is as important as how you do in the classroom.
So let me share the good news: Our kids are in good hands!
Our diverse, expansive and often tumultuous nation is brimming over with people dedicated to the art of teaching. Nurture your child’s teachers. Be present. Be available. Ask them what they need, and then help out. Encourage and support them. When you see your child’s teacher dragging at the end of a long day, smile and say thank you. Take the time to ask you neighbor why she has chosen to home school her children, and watch as her eyes light up. Almost every teacher will tell you it’s never the children that cause them to leave the profession. It’s never their lack of love or dedication, but rather a sense of unsurmountable expectations that don’t seem to go noticed or appreciated. Show your support and appreciation. Let’s keep the good ones around.
There is life-changing power in the Teaching Heart. It is the power to move mountains, the power to love children, the power to change the world. Think about it. Pray about it. Then go nurture it.
The 4 of July. Just the thought of this holiday floods my heart and brain with precious childhood memories. I can close my eyes and instantly be transported back in time. I am a little girl in pristine Madeira, Ohio, holding my dad’s hand while we stood on the sidewalk outside the Daisy Chain gift shop and watched the parade go by. I look up at my dad, a veteran of the Korean War, as tears stream down his cheeks and his free hand is either placed over his heart or is saluting other vets marching by. I am equal parts embarrassed and impressed as his voice seems to be the loudest, boldest one singing God Bless America as the high school marching band plays. The parade is followed by a huge 20-family cookout in the cul-de-sac, complete with decorate-your-bike contests, endless hours of Kick the Can, and of course hundreds of sparklers. My memories are of what July 4 should be….a country-wide birthday party for America.
Today I still look upon the 4 of July as our nation’s birthday party, but I find myself focusing more on the concept of independence and freedom. I realize now, from the vantage of age ( and I hope wisdom), the sacrifices that went in to our ability to march in parades and watch fireworks. Though my dad never spoke of his war days, I have learned more about what he likely experienced, and the tears have a more powerful message to me. Now I am married to a veteran, and this 4 I have a nephew who is deployed. While I cherish the day to join the country in an American birthday celebration, I also am humbled and overwhelmed with the ability to pull back the curtain and see what cost this freedom and independence has been for so many.
How brave those men were 239 years ago, signing a declaration of independence from tyranny and an over-reaching government, not knowing what was ahead, but knowing with faith and conviction they could move forward. This July 4, as we enjoy grilling out and spending time with family and friends, let’s not forget the cost of freedom, and take inspiration from the visionaries that came before us!
Thank you so much to those of you who have contacted me after speaking engagements, conferences, and meetings, asking if there is a way of sharing information and updates in an ongoing manner.
I have always been a bit intimidated about the whole “blogosphere” thing, but I agree with you….there are too many cutting edge research articles, books to review, and new products that can help our kids to not get information out on a more regular basis.
SO….here it is! I will use this space to interview professionals, review products and books, and to share insights and ideas. My hope is that this will become an interactive forum where we can all share ideas and encouragement, and new ways to reach children who struggle!
Stay tuned, the first “real” blog entry is soon to follow. I look forward to visiting with you soon!
Depending on your part of the country, the new school year is only a matter of days or weeks away.
It’s the season of new action-hero backpacks, freshly sharpened pencils, the aroma of fresh crayons, and the bustling commotion back-to-school open houses.
Parents and students eagerly fill the halls, crowding around the lists hung neatly on the walls to see which class, which friends, which teachers will be part of creating the year ahead.
And also a bit terrifying. As much as hope factors into a new, unseen adventure, so does fear, especially if you are the parent of a child who learns or behaves in a slightly (or obviously) different way. For these parents, it’s often less about seeing if their son’s best friend is in the class as it is about if their son will MAKE a friend in this class. It’s less about did we get the teacher the moms at the grocery store said was the best, and more about will the teacher “get” my daughter, will she be able to see her creativity beneath her blurting out, will she understand that that IS my son’s best work, even if it appears to be hurried and scribbled.
As a parent of a struggling student myself, I know that feeling oh-too-well. As a professional who has had the privilege of ushering in new school years with hundreds of families of unique kids, I’ve shared this crazy mix of hope and caution over many tables and cups of coffee.
Without exception, what almost always happens, is we realize we are holding our breaths. We are almost afraid to dream of all the remarkable possibilities in case they don’t manifest. We are preparing for battles that most of us will never even have to fight. We are holding our breath as we armor up for the unknown.
There is a reason that breathing is a critical part of the labor and birth process. It is through the deep, focused, measured breaths that we move forward into the unknown. It prepares our brains and bodies for what is to come. It slows our heart rates and clears our minds. It allows us to be present in the moment, without interference from past or future.
You’ve got this! We’ve got this! We will take it one step at a time. Together we’ll rejoice over surprising victories, deal with frustration, and probably shed a tear or two. You won’t be doing it alone. Let’s not bring forward events of the past, and let’s not anticipate so many things that likely won’t happen.
Let’s JUST breathe! Take it one breath at a time. You’ve got this! | 2019-04-21T22:20:10Z | https://breakthroughlearningsolutions.com/blog/ |
Useful historical information can be hard to find. It's easy to find the big facts like when was the Viking raid on Lindisfarne, or even who did what at the Battle of Hastings.
But, for the Bard and Sigurd stories, I needed to know what are they ate in medieval northern England? Lots of steak & potatoes? Not even close. Potatoes are a New World vegetable and cows were more valuable for milk.
And clothing? Doublet and Hose? (Nope, that's more rennaissance), tunic and leggings (probably), robes (for the upper classes).
Two of the more useful sites I found were unexpected.
Would you believe out-of-copyright comic books? In particular, the Robin Hood comics published by Magazine Enterprises during the 1940s and 1950s had a text section describing life in medieval times. Robin Hood is a little out of period for Bard & Sigurd, but I pulled a few snippets from these articles.
The downside of things like the Digital Comic Museum or Comic Book Plus is that you can lose a few hours (or more) to The Spirit or other classic titles.
The other fun bit of research was two books by Paul Telegdi: Learning Berserk and Unlearning Berserk.
These are stories about the life of a norse slave in the early 11th century. Telegdi went into a lot of detail about how his characters lived, what they ate, how the portages between the North Sea and Black Sea were done, etc.
The books are good historical stories and fun reads, but the gravy for me was the level of research that went into them.
And as free samples, you can't beat the price.
My research into Constantinople has led me to French Romantic painters, Assasin's Creed video game, and articles on belly dancing.
All of this is on top of the normal sorts of research like books and history websites.
I should mention that Paul Telegdi has written other books, and they are good reads. | 2019-04-18T15:25:38Z | http://cflynt.com/Blog/showBlog.htm?BLid=Blog,FCD73D2225B1682B4534A3353131E517 |

History: The Deviants (or DV8) are descendants of Team 7, the covert military strikeforce who were exposed to mutational chemical compounds by the intelligence community in order to make them superhuman. The Gen-Factor of superhumanity was passed on to Team 7s children. Those children therefore become International Operations targets, as Team 7 had gone into hiding. Some of this children -- now in their mid-to-late teens -- were rescued by rogue I.O. chief and Team 7 man John Lynch, and became the group Gen-13.
DV8 were not. They are fully the creatures of crazed I.O. Science director Ivana Baiul. Therefore, what were looking at here is the antithesis of nice clean Gen-13. They stayed with IO. And they are not pleasant people.
Brought together by the deliciously amoral Ivana Baiul, the group consisted of the heat-sucker Frostbite, the animalistic Evo, the multiple-personality possessor Copycat, the brawny Powerhaus, the density-altering Sublime, and the pain/pleasure controller Bliss. This motley group of disruptive teens was led by the arrogant psionic Threshold, with the utterly insane Sideways Bob acting as the team's "keeper". The group was formed and funded by Ivana once she was excised from International Operations to act as a "spoiler force", snatching up various technology and items before other intelligence agencies could get their hands on it, and then auctioning it to the highest bidder.
Warren Ellis' opening run on the title was relentlessly nihilistic. The characters at no point seemed an amiable bunch, and with nary an altruistic gene among them. But Ellis' sharp writing and strong characterization made me interested to see if they'd discover a hint of humanity, a glimpse of promise, within themselves. For example, in the second issue Ivana sends them to investigate and possibly recruit a cult-like group of gen-active teens. When the DV8 members realize these people (with names like Virginia Dentata) are even more degenerate and twisted than themselves, they kill the lot of them - which of course was precisely what Ivana wanted in the first place.
The members slowly realize they exist to be manipulated. As one character puts it, they're "like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed crap." But it was fascinating to see how they each coped with their situation, particularly during "downtime". Sublime saves a girl from committing suicide by breaking her leg, Bliss begins a disturbing relationship with her brother Threshold, the ever-bored Evo wanders the streets seeking drugs to distract him. Not your basic "hero" behavior. | 2019-04-24T18:54:43Z | http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/d/dv8.htm |

Like most people I find it intimidating to cook a whole live lobster. So I love to cook with lobster tails, its simple to work with and I don’t have to kill anything. Since lobster meat is delicate and sweet, I deviated from strong flavors but used some spices to enhance and compliment the lobster meat….
This curry is great for those new to Indian cooking as it does not use a ton of ingredients and is relatively simple to follow.
Vada is a South Indian savory fritter made with soaked lentils and usually fried to a golden crisp. This recipe is baked with little to no oil for a healthier alternative. I used green split pea unlike the typical split chana dal (dry split chickpea) for variation. This recipe works well with chickpeas, black lentil and other legumes.
The most important step is soaking the peas till it plumps up three times their size. I soak the peas for a minimum of 12 – 24 hours to make it easier to digest. Change the soaking water every 3-4 hours, till the water is clear and free of bubbles. Add a pinch of sea salt when soaking overnight to draw out the gas which will form bubbles on top of the water. Be sure to use cold water when rinsing and soaking the peas. Changing the soaking water and adding some sea salt helps reduce bloating and uncomfortable gas associated with legumes.
In the above the picture you see the difference between dry and soaked split peas. Another advantage to soaking the peas for 12-24 hours is the peas grind smoother and cooks evenly….
Lumpia is a fried spring roll made with minced meat and a variety of vegetables, made famous as the Filipino eggroll. Some varieties are fried with raw pork or beef, others with cooked filling. For safety reasons I like to fully cook my meat before filling the lumpias.
Lumpias uses an array of vegetables but feel free use what is on hand and personal preference. The only substitutions I wouldn’t make are garlic and red onion because they are the foundation of flavors. I used a series of colorful vegetables like sweet red bell peppers, crunchy celery, savory red onions, and crispy carrots. Soy sauce and rice wine vinegar are added to season the meat. The rice wine vinegar is mellow and sweet, great for balancing the salty bite of soy sauce. Rice wine vinegar is low in acidity, unlike other varieties of vinegars….
Tuna wrap is an easy healthy flavorful recipe that is great for lunch or dinner. This recipe isn’t loaded with a million spices and complicated steps, it’s easy for anyone to make.
This recipe uses canned white albacore tuna. I’m not a fan of dark fish meat because it’s too musky. The albacore tuna can be quite meaty as it is canned as a portion of a tuna steak. I break it apart with my hand so it’s flaky and can evenly disperse with the vegetables. Squeeze as much water out of the tuna as you can otherwise the final dish will be watery.
The combination of vegetables used are light and flavorful. The vegetables are finely minced to speed up the cooking process and blend with the flaked tuna. The base flavor for the tuna are minced red onion, ginger, garlic and chili. The green bell pepper and celery are savory and give a slight crunch. The turmeric powder gives a depth of flavor and the chili powder gives spiciness. These spices combined give the tuna a beautiful orange hue….
This is a healthy recipe using a whole red snapper. Seems imitating? Luckily the fish monger does most of the hard work of gutting and removing the scales of the fish. I love red snapper because of its delicate white meat. But any medium sized white fleshed fish would work just as well….
If you’re craving a spicy hearty Indian chicken recipe that is somewhat easy…this dish is for you!
Making a paste marinade allows the spices and fresh ingredients to seep into the chicken, tenderizing it and insuring it will be succulent. Roughly chop the red onion (you can substitute with white onion), ginger, bird’s eye chilies, and crush the garlic. It makes it easier for the food processor or handheld emulsifier to grind through. I leave the curry leaves whole before I grind them, since the leaves are not fibrous. Curry leaves give the dish a distinct earthy floral flavor, mainly used in South Indian dishes. Most grocery stores carry it, but if you are out of luck, substitute with cilantro….
This recipe is a healthy delicious vegetarian dish. If you’re not a fan of a particular vegetable, try roasting it and you might be surprised! Slowly roasting the vegetables allows any existing sugar content to caramelize. So the vegetable is left sweet, nutty, and earthy which melts in your mouth.
The combination of vegetables I used in this recipe is great, but feel free to use what you have on hand, or according to your personal preference. To make this dish more filling I used mainly root vegetables like parsnips, carrots, turnips, beets, potatoes and cauliflower. Also I added aromatic vegetables for flavor, like green bell pepper, red onion, and the garlic. All the vegetables are cut to roughly one inch pieces, to ensure even cooking….
These baked chicken wings have the same crispiness and guilty pleasure of fried wings, but without gallons of wasted oil or exploding wing particles! | 2019-04-25T22:03:12Z | http://www.tikkaa.com/author/tikkaa/ |

Located between the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport and Pittsburgh, this large 1,589–acre park is home to the most heavily used of the county's three wave pools. An impressive diving platform adds to the attraction. Archaeologists from Carnegie Museum of Natural History helped identify the origins of the 1780 log cabin that gives the park its name, and the themes of the 11 groves and shelters pay homage to Native American tribes. Settlers Cabin is also the home of the Pittsburgh Botanical Garden, an ambitious development of 450 acres into a natural and national treasure highlighting the beauty of the area’s flora and fauna.
Settlers Cabin Park serves a growing population in the western section of the county. Phase 1 of the connector trail links Settler's Cabin Park to Walkers Mill in Collier Township. A future Phase 2, outside park property, will link to the adjacent Panhandle Trail; a 29-mile trail that stretches from Carnegie to Weirton, WV and includes a link to the Montour Trail.
Settlers Cabin Park has the busiest of the three wave pools operated by the county and also has tennis courts and a diving pool. | 2019-04-26T12:03:33Z | http://acparksfoundation.org/settlers-cabin-park/ |
Opel at the factory in the German city of Eisenach has launched an assembly line for the production of the new three-door car model Adam. North American concern of General Motors has invested in the modernization of the plant, where today a model of Corsa is produced, a total of ? 190 million. It has been very difficult to manage all about the assembly of the new premium hatchback of the Opel company, as the German company has developed a model for an extensive program of personalization: the choice of the potential buyers are 61,000 exterior design options and 82,000 interior design possibilities.

You can't say it's not thoroughly deserved. Two impressive achievements by Claudio Marchisio rightly called for a standing ovation from the Juventus Stadium faithful before the match against Cagliari. And Il Principino duly collected two awards for his efforts following the pre-match warm-up.
First there was a commemorative plaque for his 300th Bianconeri appearance – which came against Fiorentina last week – handed to him by president Andrea Agnelli.
Then it was time for J-Member Martina Divis to hand him the MVP of the Month Powered By Hanwha award for April on behalf of the Juventus Membership community.
A memorable night for Marchisio and an unforgettable one for Martina, who got to meet one of her heroes while soaking up the pre-match atmosphere on the hallowed J-Stadium turf.
Next time you could be the lucky J-Member doing the honours! You just need to go to the ON THE PITCH > Fixtures and Results section and vote for your man of the match after every game.

Tesla Inc met its production target of 1,000 Model 3 cars per day, automotive news website Electrek reported, citing Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's email to employees.
Despite the electric carmaker achieving its target for the sedan, the company still needs to demonstrate if it could sustain that level. The company in the past has struggled with achieving its Model 3 goals, blaming production bottlenecks.
Tesla, which managed to turn a profit in the third quarter has promised to post another one in the current quarter.

Our Viognier grapes grow in 2 different vineyards from Naramata and Osoyoos. Naramata has a heavier, loamy soil able to retain water to grow larger canopies which results in a wine with full citrus notes and vegetal flavours. Osoyoos grapes grow in similar soil but with warmer temperatures the wine possesses rich stone fruit and tropical expressions. By picking from both sites and blending, the resulting wine is balanced to avoid the flabby high alcohol expression common in Okanagan Viognier. Pair with BBQ Chicken, Ratatouille or B.C Cheeses. | 2019-04-26T12:44:01Z | https://www.bench1775.com/product/2017-Viognier |

Communication Sites in SharePoint Online are now rolling out to a tenant near you. This is one of the larger releases from the SharePoint team recently and has been a point of focus since the Virtual Summit earlier this year. I personally have been looking forward to communication sites since hearing they were coming. As the modern experience in SharePoint Online continued to expand with team sites and group sites it felt like the publishing world was being left behind. Knowing that Microsoft is not only concentrating on the collaboration world of SharePoint but also the communication world, shows the future keeps looking better. SharePoint is already the king of corporate intranets and this release will make intranets easier and hopefully much better looking using the modern experience.
What is a Communication Site in SharePoint Online?
Below is slide from one of Mark Kashman's recent slideshares about where the role of communication sites exists as compared to team sites.
The primary way to create a communication site is through the + Create Site button on the SharePoint landing page.
Once you click Create site you will now be prompted with type of site you want to create. In the past this would only allow you to create a team site. If you click create a team site the same prompt that you had prior will occur. Now we have what lies behind door number 2 which is the new communication site creation process.
After you click create communication site you get a new site creation page. This page includes some cool new areas.
Starting on the right you have your basic site name, address, and description.
The site address will auto populate but if you click the little pencil you can edit it. A good thing to notice here is that the sites are created under the /sites managed path. The site description will fill in the same site description as in classic sites.
Then as we move down we see 2 new things. We now see site classification and usage guidelines.
Interestingly enough, these are the options that are configurable within Azure AD for Office 365 Groups management.
And last but not least we have a new choose your design section on the left.
As of initial release we have 2 preset designs of Topic and Showcase and then a blank design.
I really like the idea of preset designs. I hope this is an area that will be opened up to allow new designs that you create to be added as communication site design templates.
The Topic and Showcase site designs are easy starting points to meet common needs and begin guiding page/content creation which is always a struggle for intranets. Both the Topic and the Showcase site design come preconfigured with web parts on the page.
I am not sure of the technical reason for this but if you don't have the ability to create an Office 365 Group you won't be able to create a communication site. Even though you need this permission, an Office 365 Group is NOT created.
After you clicked create, the actual process of creating the site was ridiculously fast. There is still quite a bit of work to do to personalize a site but the new web parts such as the hero and stream web part are great starting points for content delivery.
I assume this will be resolved when the new admin portal comes out. For now if you want to see a list of your communication sites you will have to use PowerShell.
There is only 1 collection of navigation for top and left. This can be edited either in a library or on a site page. You can edit directly on these pages by clicking the edit link next to navigation.
Here is some more support information for updating navigation. If you change the navigation it will be reflected on both the site pages and within the libraries and list pages.
With the release of communication sites we finally get more than single column page layouts. Personally I didn't think it was possible to create a super useful page in the modern framework without using more than 1 column so I think this is a huge improvement. This is also not just for communication sites but you can now have multi column layouts on all modern sites.
Now if you are on a communication site and want to create a new page, the easiest way is through the + New option right below top navigation.
This is the kind of flexibility we have been needing for building pages in SharePoint Online within the modern experience.
What else and what's next?
Communication sites are being rolled out to first release users and then full first release tenants. Worldwide rollout targeted for August 2017 and all of this includes the new web parts and sections layouts.
The publishing infrastructure continues to be supported.
Communication sites can support external users as long as the SharePoint site is configured to allow external sharing.
Mobile apps are being updated to support communication sites.
Join a communication sites AMA on Wednesday, June 28th 2017 from 9-10 a.m. PDT. | 2019-04-19T05:30:15Z | https://concurrency.com/blog/june-2017/first-look-at-communication-sites-in-sharepoint-on?feed=Blog |

The overpayment scam is another time-honored classic that's made a successful leap to the online world. It goes like this: A business (usually a small, seemingly vulnerable one) receives a check from a buyer, usually of a big-ticket item. But suddenly there's a hitch — the buyer has mistakenly written the check for more than the correct amount. To avoid the trouble of writing another check, the buyer asks that the check be deposited and the difference wired back to them. We all know where this is going, right? The check bounces, the wire transfer is gone, the scammer is untraceable and the business owner is also responsible for bank fees.
Overpayment scams are pretty easy to avoid with just a few safeguards. There are so many warning signs with these cons that you should be able to stop things before they start. A no-check policy would instantly solve the problem, and it's also best to steer clear of wire transfers. If you must accept checks for some reason, always ask for all of the buyer's contact information and then double-check — or, better yet, deal with them in person and ask for a check from a local bank. Wait for checks to clear before you use any of the funds and, above all, never accept a check for more than the agreed-upon amount. | 2019-04-21T02:40:14Z | https://money.howstuffworks.com/10-online-scams-that-target-small-businesses7.htm |
Call It Arson plays out of the Old Saybrook area of Connecticut, probably about an hour and a half from where I used to live. Being so close, they've become a local favorite, and rightfully so. I think they're one of the few musical acts around now that still make original music. You can tell that the individual styles of the members all contribute to the bands overall sound, which I always find interesting. They've managed to create a heavy aesthetic while retaining acoustic and folk rock elements to their songs; the harmonica and acoustic guitar are always as audible as the driving low end. Singers James Downes and Ryan White have very distinct, unique qualities to their voices that blend and mesh like they were from the same family.
They're one of the few bands in the area who are seeing some success, having shared the stage with bands like Cursive and The Appleseed Cast. On May 20th of 2008, Call It Arson released "Moth Wash: The Old Flames Seven Inch" which features a lonely two songs but comes with an MP3 download of all the files. Moth Wash is the latest of three releases since 2006, after "The Animal Strings Album" and "Call It Arson" a self titled, 10 track album. Look for Call It Arson on Kill Normal Records, alongside bands like They And The Children, Stab You In The Head and The Flaming Tsunamis.
Here are some of our first MP3 downloads on My Son Cool. These songs are great and everyone should hear them, but if you like these songs please support this band and their music. All of these CD's are available on the Kill Normal Website for cheap.
I'll be totally honest, if I had my way I'd have different songs on here but we do what we can. You might not be able to download them, but go to the Call It Arson myspace and listen to "Eliza" and "Sharpie," my two favorite songs of theirs, just take my word for it. Both songs are beautiful and haunting in their almost anthem-like composition. "Sharpie" shares the mentality of "There's A Way To Be On," being the other track from Moth Wash. | 2019-04-19T00:22:35Z | http://mysoncoolny.blogspot.com/2009/02/call-it-arson-moth-wash-old-flames.html |
Spotting Space Launches; Prime Sites for Free Viewing.
I’m always surprised how many everyday (i.e. non-space buffs!) I meet that fail to realize that space shots are visible to millions on almost a monthly basis. It’s almost as if the space program is this exotic thing that happens in strange and remote places, far from the eyes of the general public. But the reality is that it may be easier to spy a launch than you might think, and anyone can easily see the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle with the naked eye while it’s in orbit. There are about a half dozen spaceports worldwide that see at least monthly action, but for this post, we’ll talk about the two most famous; Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the Kennedy Space Center.
Last year, we were able to attend the STS-125 launch at the KSC; prices for general admission currently go for about $38 dollars US. Viewing was from the visitor center complex grounds, and while I wouldn’t deter anyone from the experience, we were still quite some distance away! You won’t see the shuttle sitting on the pad, and it will only be visible seconds after it clears the tree-line. It’s interesting to note that while the mainstream media generally ignores the manned spaceflight program, tickets for launch viewing also tend to sell out fast. In fact, if the quick sellout of tickets for next week’s STS-132 mission are any indication, a vast counter-movement of space enthusiasts exists that isn’t being served by the mass media. In fact, STS-132 viewing tickets appeared on EBay at magnitudes above the sale price hours after the sellout!The good news is you don’t have to sell the car (or a kidney) to see a launch. Several off-site areas exist where you can spy launches. If you find yourself along the Florida space coast or in the Orlando area, I invite you to keep an eye on the sky… we can even spot launches from the backyard of Astroguyz HQ, about 100 miles to the west! What follows are some tips and advice, both official and unofficial, from readers, followers, sources and personal trial and error experiences.
The first and foremost thing you’re going to want is information. When is the next launch? SpaceFlightNow is a daily “must look at” for us; it updates launches and schedules of spaceports worldwide. Keep in mind; there are only three shuttle launches left in the program! Unmanned launches are always cool as well, and look dramatically different in appearance as their payload is generally lighter than the multi-million ton shuttle. Launches out of the Cape also tend to have a more easterly track out to sea, while shuttle launches have to match up with the International Space Station in its 51.6° degree orbit and thus follow a more northeasterly track up the U.S. seaboard. For in-the-field satellite tracking, I point you towards the outstanding stand-alone free-ware resource Orbitron; just remember to update those TLEs occasionally to assure currency. Celestrak is also another ultimate resource for data, and CALsky will even give you custom built e-mail alerts for such events as dockings, solar and lunar transits, and decaying satellites. And don’t forget to follow @Astroguyz on Twitter for the latest launch updates!
The official NASA page lists some areas of interest for off-site viewing: It also mentions that audio transmissions for amateur radio operators are at 146.94 MHz and boaters can tune to Channel 16 VHF-FM for Coast Guard instructions on restricted areas during launch. Keep in mind, boats aren’t allowed north of mile marker 15 on the Banana River, and photography from a moving boat may be tricky, though not impossible.
An interesting site complete with diagramed maps comes to us via Peter Vidani and his Space Shuttle Launch Viewing Recommendations. He notes that Port Canaveral has the optimal viewing locale for launches out of the Cape, but may be used for KSC launches as well. Parrish Park is noted as another prime site, as it is only 12 miles from launch pad 39A. Construction at the Max Brewer Bridge has, however, limited parking. He also notes that while Space View Park is wired up with an audio feed from Mission Control; arrive early, as it gets very crowded!
Veteran launch photographer Ben Cooper also echoes the above, stating that; “Space View Park is definitely a fan favorite, because it has trees and monuments and a pier…a very nice place compared to just being at the side of the road or something. (As for) Tips and tricks…get there early, earlier is always better even if it is too early, you can’t go wrong getting a good spot. Everyone arrives at different times but leaves at once, so expect major traffic jams after the launch or scrub.” Make sure you are also flexible in your viewing plans, as launches can and do frequently scrub. High profile launches, such as last year’s Hubble repair or the final up-and-coming shuttle flight draw the largest crowds, but even a run of the mill telecommunications launch can be interesting… you might even catch something unusual, such as when the Solar Dynamics Observatory “pierced” a solar halo during launch earlier this year! Mr. Cooper’s site also gives an excellent rundown of Titusville viewing areas, as well as examples of his own launch photography.
Generally speaking, a night launch will provide a better contrast against the night sky; I usually shoot a few calibration shots before launch to have some idea of what shutter speeds I can get away with; remember, digital film is cheap. My usual setup is a video camera mounted and running on a tripod and a hand held DSLR, with NASA TV running in the background. Keep in mind that NASA TV does have a time delay; you may well see the shuttle a few seconds before launch is broadcast. Dawn and dusk launches are the ultimate, such as the recent outstanding STS-131 launch. Keep an eye on the sky directly afterwards, as glowing neon clouds may be seen high in the Earth’s atmosphere. These are the results of condensation in the wake of a launch contrail, and can be equally photogenic.
- Be ready and flexible for changing light conditions; a night-time launch can quickly turn into daytime conditions. I always shoot on manual, and try to pre-focus on a bright planet or the Moon if available.
- Know your equipment: this is a basic one that’s often overlooked. Give all gear a through “shakedown” before launch day and make sure all batteries are topped off… in astrophotography, the devil frequently lurks in the details!
- Scout out a good foreground; scenery can make a good photo great. Such landmarks as the Disney castle, the Intracoastal Waterway Bridge in Ponte Vedra, palm trees, or the Moon add individuality to a shot. Check the azimuth of the launch pad against your viewing position so you know where the launch will be visible before hand; if you use the same sight frequently, note any land marks for future use.
- Finally, don’t shoot video in the vertical position! I know this from my own experience; I failed to realize during the STS-125 launch that the software wouldn’t “de-rotate” the video the same as stills. Hey we’re big enough to admit our own mistakes.
- Binocs are handy for sighting booster separations; I’ve seen the SRB detachment from a 100 miles away with our Canon IS 15x45s.
- And don’t forget those non-photography related issues; be prepared for heat, UV, and bugs in the summer; Florida nights in the winter can be surprisingly chilly. Twitter follower @Dangerbarrow ) suggests packing a lunch, arriving several hours early and viewing from Titusville on the river would a fine way to spend a launch spotting-day.
Why not view the launch from a kayak? Adventure Central offers a unique tour viewing from Mosquito Lagoon that gives you an unrestricted and unique vantage point. While not free, the $32 is a fraction of the KSC viewing price. Thanks to our friend Donna Frose teaching in Quito, Ecuador for sending this one our way!
Florida residents can also write their congress-person and request to view a launch; most elected officials in Florida recognize the value of the space industry and are thrilled to give their constituents a chance to see it in action, up close. Thanks to Ruth Arnold in Miami for bringing this to our attention.
Finally, why not join a NASAtweetup? These media events are raffled off periodically, and provide up-close access to launches and interviews with astronauts. Entry is open to anyone over 18 years of age with a Twitter account; simply follow the NASAtweetup page religiously, as event notifications frequently come and go.
And speaking of which, we here at Astroguyz are T-minus one week until departure for the STS-132 launch and the NASAtweetup! Follow this space as we track Atlantis in its final flight to the International Space Station…we promise we’ll keep the video camera in horizontal mode this time!

Air Miles Canada says it won’t reimburse collectors who spent their points in anticipation of an expiration policy that will no longer take effect at the end of the year.
The company that runs the Air Miles loyalty points program, LoyaltyOne, announced Thursday it was cancelling plans that would have seen collectors lose miles older than five years.
While some celebrated the news, others — who had scrambled to redeem their miles ahead of the expiry — were angered by the about face.
Air Miles Canada’s Twitter account told two customers the company would not be reimbursing collectors who spent their points to avoid having them expire.
The account sent tweets saying the company would not accept returns, cancellations or exchanges due to the cancellation of the expiry policy, once booked. | 2019-04-24T14:51:48Z | https://mackaycartoons.net/tag/loyalty/ |
What does it take to get a start-up going? Well, nothing much; just a great idea, a few devoted professionals and, of course, funds. Helical IT Solutions seems to have them all. A company that started its operations in November 2012, it has already earned funds from an international investor and is poised to grow in a domain where growth is almost guaranteed-open source technology.
Helical IT Solutions Pvt Ltd deals with Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence (DWBI). The founders of the company, Nikhilesh Tiwari and Nitin Sahu, chose the open source way because they are sure that if there is any domain in which growth is guaranteed, it is in open source technology. The range of services provided by the company include data warehousing, data visualisation, BI, ETL (extract, transfer and load), mobile and self-services BI, geographical charting, etc.
The two bank on open source not because it is a trend, but because they have learnt and understood the pros and cons of it over the years. Their tryst with open source began in their previous jobs, which they left to start their venture. Tiwari says, “In our previous companies we were working on open source BI technologies. According to the latest report by Gartner, the Indian BI sector is growing at 16 per cent and is expected to touch US$ 113 million in 2013 and US$ 172 million by 2016. Not only in India but worldwide, BI is one sector that is growing the fastest in the IT sector.
“So we thought of moving to the next level with our company. With the recession and sluggish economies, more and more companies are trying to adopt open source technologies because of the low cost of ownership. Seeing this kind of market growth and the higher adoption of OSBI technologies, we thought of monetising this trend. This led to our searching for clients, and even before starting our company full time, we had three paying clients with us,” Tiwari adds.
Since the team was already working on different BI tools, it could easily offer consultancy to its clients regarding what would be the best tool to adopt, whether or not they ought to purchase the enterprise edition of that BI tool, etc. Hence, not only was Helical developing the client’s solution, it was also acting as a consultancy.
Having begun the journey with open source technology, both Tiwari and Sahu want to continue down that path in the future as well. Tiwari explains that the biggest benefit open source technology brings is that without any compromise on the quality, the cost of ownership is the lowest. Hence, for SMEs and start-ups that have cost constraints, but do not want to compromise on the quality, open source technology is the best choice. He asserts, “With sluggish economies in the US and EU, we are now also approaching medium-sized companies, since they want to reduce their expenses and overheads. OSBI technologies often turn out to be 70-90 per cent more cost effective as compared to their proprietary competitors like SAP, SAS, IBM Cognos, etc.” The company currently has a team of eight people and will continue to hire to meet the requirements that come with its growth. | 2019-04-22T16:23:46Z | https://opensourceforu.com/2014/02/successful-start-chose-go-open-source-way/ |

I had another debate with my friend again regarding the cost of living in Singapore. Naturally, we referred to the article below, titled "Inflation could hit 5% early next year, then taper off", and argued about the notion of "spending less = lower cost of living = lower standard of living?".
Mr Lim, Singapore’s Minister for Trade and Industry, commented that by spending on alternative, cheaper goods, we can effectively lower the cost of living. However, some people seem to interpret that as lowering the standard of living.
Instead of saying that “switching to cheaper products can reduce the cost of living”, Minister Lim would have been more accurate to say, “switching to cheaper products can lower the standard of living”. For example, instead of living in a 5-room HDB flat, you can live in a 1-room HDB flat (a cheaper product). Instead of having chicken rice and vegetables for lunch, you can just eat plain porridge (a cheaper product).
Living in a 1-room HDB flat and eating plain porridge constitutes a lower standard of living. So yes, by switching to cheaper products, you can lower your standard of living. And a lower standard of living does cost less to maintain.
My friend shared the perception that, by spending on (possibly) lower quality (and hence cheaper) goods, there will be less demand for the costlier goods. Given such a scenario, it is possible for the costlier goods to cost cheaper since the demand is now lowered. After all, economics is all about demand and supply – and hence Mr Lim’s advice is not entirely wrong.
He also added that, it is not possible for everyone to stop spending – so people should spend less – perhaps on cheaper products, but not entirely stop spending because the entire economy will collapse. Thus to prevent either extremes from happening – (i) goods getting costlier (ii) economy collapsing, Singaporeans have to start spending moderately so that both goals become achievable.
From the point of economics, I have to agree with his points. However, the entity that we are talking about are humans, and not robots, and so a greater amount of PR has to be injected while getting people to face reality.
Mr Lim had been infamous for his statements when he was the health minister, which includes asking the women to "save on one hairdo and use the money for breast screening", his regret in intervening to admit a premature baby to KKH to save the baby’s life because "…in the end, the baby continued to be in intensive care, and KKH now runs up a total bill of more than $300,000…", and his call to raise hospital rates to hotel rates because "if these patients (hospital overstayers) want to treat hospitals like a hotel, then they’ll have to be charged hotel rates.", of whom mostly are likely to be older than 60, with no income, or are from families with incomes below $1000.
AS CONSUMER prices continue to rise, inflation in Singapore will likely surge to 4 or 5 per cent in the first quarter of next year.
But it should taper off by the second half of the year to ‘more normal conditions’, said Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang yesterday.
The average rate for next year should be around 3 per cent.
Fuelled mainly by rising global oil and food prices, inflation recorded a 13-year high of 2.9 per cent in August. It is expected to dip to 2.7 per cent in the last quarter, Mr Lim told Parliament.
But it was his 2008 forecast that made analysts and consumers sit up yesterday.
Citigroup economist Chua Hak Bin said that the 5 per cent rate predicted would be a ‘historic high’ in the 25 years since 1983. The previous high was in July 1991, when it hit 4 per cent.
Most economies, including Singapore’s, size up inflation by tracking the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. The CPI measures the cost of a basket of goods and services consumed by most households.
Yesterday, Mr Lim cautioned against ‘interpreting a rise in the headline CPI as necessarily reflecting an increase in the cost of living’.
It depends on the individual household’s spending. ‘Switching to cheaper products can reduce the cost of living despite a rise in the CPI,’ he added.
A CPI increase may also not reflect actual hikes in consumer prices. For instance, flat prices soared, but flat owners do not pay rent.
Higher inflation, he said, should also be viewed against rapid economic growth, with the gross domestic product rising more than 6 per cent on average since 2003 and wages also on the up.
However, MPs such as Madam Halimah Yacob worry that residents, especially the elderly on fixed incomes, are feeling the pinch. ‘They go to the market with a similar sum of money. But they can buy less,’ she said.
He sketched out how the landscape will look like next year.
Explaining why there will be a spike in inflation before it plateaus, he cited two reasons: First, it is as compared to the first quarter of this year, when inflation was at 0.5 per cent and oil prices were low.
Second, the ‘one-off’ effect of the goods and services tax hike, which will be felt until next June.
Thereafter, the trend will ‘revert to more normal conditions in the second half of next year’.
The numbers come against a global backdrop of rising oil and food prices, such as more expensive chicken due to costlier feed. Adverse weather in food-supplying countries has also reduced supply, even as demand has risen.
Diversifying sources is one way to maintain more stable food prices, Mr Lim said, but there was a limit to this given the worldwide increase in food prices being seen now.
But inflation has not affected Singapore’s economic competitiveness, he said.
‘We are tracking our competitiveness position very closely and so far we are in quite a good position,’ he said, adding that inflation here was lower than in other countries.
He noted that imported inflation has been reduced because of the policy of gradually appreciating the Singapore dollar.
Other watchers suggest more aggressive measures. Citigroup’s Dr Chua, for instance, believes that the economy is in danger of overheating.
He called on the Government to re-prioritise projects, given that unemployment is already at a low.

There are 365 days in the year and 52 Sundays.
That leaves 313 days left in the year. What will you do with them?
Being a follower of Jesus is not a once a week thing… or perhaps twice a week if you’re super religious. God is not up there taking church attendance in Heaven as a basis for salvation or love or approval. He is looking at your heart.
God is doing wonders in the earth today – miracles and healings of every kind… I am blessed to be a small part of what He is doing. But it doesn’t come by religion, it comes by relationship with the Living God. It comes by intimacy with Jesus.
30″And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. 32And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.
I pray that things written here will give you a hunger for more and will stir up an unquenchable passion for Jesus in your heart. | 2019-04-25T06:17:28Z | https://www.jesus313.com/about/ |
Seaton Parkrun Review 11/08/18 – Too many pebbles!
Another parkrun ticked off on the list, and probably not one many people have heard of.
This week I’m on holiday in Lyme Regis, so we checked out the closest parkrun and luckily Seaton parkrun was only ten minutes in the car.
Anyway, the course, which was on the seafront ala Hastings, started on the pebble beach. For the first time in a while I tried a sprint start. Running over pebbles isn’t easy, I’ll tell you that much, and it wasn’t going to be the last I saw of them either.
As I got onto the concrete path this shorter guy flew past me. Looking at the results from last week, the winner got a time of 16:32, so I thought it could’ve been him.
There was a turning at Yacht Club at about 1.5k where we had to run on pebbles for another 100 metres, we did the loop twice so it probably knocked a bit off my time.
I liked the fact that we ran up and down the seafront four times, it allowed you to break up the race in smaller chunks rather than one long path.
I dropped my pace towards the middle but managed to pick it up again for the finishing kilometre.
I’m not sure why but I always seem to speed up after a turning, luckily for me there were a lot of them on the course, as well as volunteers who were great as usual.
In terms of my time, it’s an improvement on last week which is what I was expecting now I’m starting to train regularly again. All there is to do now is find some long run routes for the mornings here in Dorest and I’ll be pretty much sorted.
In other news, apparently my aunt saw Robbie Williams walking down by the beach earlier; a man who’s met Lawrence McKenna. What a claim to fame!

This article appeared in the September, 23, 2011 edition of the Davis Enterprise.
Explorit Science Center welcomes you back to its Mace Ranch Park facility for the opening of its new Forces of Nature exhibit. The exhibit opens Saturday, October 1 at 1:00pm at 3141 5th Street in Davis.
Explorit Science Center has been housed in Mace Ranch Park since 1992, but the facility itself has a much longer history. A historic home owned by the Mace Ranch Investors, the Mace Ranch House was first built in 1951 on the site of a hundred-year-old farm and cattle ranch.
The land known as Mace Ranch Park entered into written history in the mid-nineteenth century as part of a Mexican land grant. In 1850 Col. Joseph Ballinger Chiles purchased the Mace Ranch Park portion of the grant.
Chiles planted grain, raised horses and cattle and erected a two-story family home near where the Mace Ranch House stands today. That home stood until the 1950s when the current house was built.
As the Chiles family grew, the ranch was divided and diversified. Grain and horses gave way to sheep farming, and later alfalfa and sugar beets.
When the C. Bruce Mace family purchased a portion of the original Chiles ranch land, they farmed it with tomatoes, wheat and alfalfa. They built and lived in the Mace Ranch House until 1985.
Six years later, Explorit Science Center negotiated our current tenancy with the home’s owners, Mace Ranch Investors, who had purchased the property in 1981. Explorit moved in the next spring on the occasion of our tenth anniversary.
Explorit has maintained offices in Mace Ranch Park ever since. Now, on the cusp of turning 30, Explorit has returned its exhibit space to its roots in Mace Ranch Park.
The new exhibit, Forces of Nature, explores the science in the world all around us. From the principles of flight to the power of continental drift, visitors will experience the wonders of movement in our lives.
Young children will also enjoy investigating a variety of activities geared for those five and under in our Discovery Den. And no visit to Explorit would be complete without dropping in to our animal alcove to greet Connie the ball python or Blizzard the blue tongue skink.
So as Explorit comes home to Mace Ranch Park, we invite you to join us on Saturday, October 1 from 1:00-5:00pm. We will be open the first weekend of the month, Saturday and Sunday 1:00-5:00pm beginning October 1. And be sure to like us on Facebook to stay up to date with all our news.
• Saturday and Sunday, October 1st and 2nd from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m: Explorit’s newest Exhibition, “Forces of Nature” opens. This exhibition welcomes the public back to our 3141 5th Street Nature Center and will feature some of the best of Explorit’s past exhibits.
Explorit Science Center is located at 3141 5th St. and is open to the public every first Saturday and Sunday of the month. For more information call (530) 756-0191 or visit http://www.explorit.org, or “like” us on Facebook. | 2019-04-24T00:19:25Z | http://www.explorit.org/news/science-center-returns-to-its-roots |

Recently, we went to breakfast with some friends of ours and their 2 1/2 year old son. While the adults were talking, the young toddler wanted to speak to his mother. Almost simultaneously, both parents gave their child a non-verbal sign. They crossed their pointer fingers and middle fingers and showed the sign to their child… almost immediately, he stopped. He waited patiently for three or four minutes until the discussion was completed. At that point, the parents asked him what he wanted to say and he shared his idea while everyone listened. As I’m watching this, I’m thinking…IF ONLY!!!
My TBP has always struggled with patience, but having to wait to share his thoughts, remains one of the biggest challenges. It seems to be worse when we are driving in the car. His continued perception is that we don’t allow him any time to talk. It doesn’t seem possible to us (or our ears), but we try to check ourselves to make sure that we are actively listening in between our discussions.
Outside of the car, we have the same issue. I might be watching a show or working, and my TBP doesn’t understand why I don’t want to stop immediately to see the latest village he has made in Mine Craft. Don’t get me wrong…I adore him. Anyone that knows me, knows that he is the center of my world but… this constant need for attention and not wanting to wait is exhausting. Just today, I was putting laundry away upstairs and I heard him scream for me. I dropped the laundry, ran downstairs, and shouted his name to see what had occured. I was out of breath when I said, “Are you okay. What’s wrong?!” He said quietly, “Nothing…I just needed you.” While this sounds sweet (and I’m glad that he wants me near him) it is the interrupting and need for immediate attention that is frustrating.
We have noticed that the interrupting increases at certain times. When he is tired or hungry, he doesn’t seem to have the ability to control his impulsiveness. If school has been especially challenging or there is an activity coming up that he is anxious about, we have to be prepared for a bit more frequent check ins. Understanding and preparing for this, has been a preventive measure that we didn’t understand in years past. We also make a deliberate effort to spend 15-20 minutes a day giving him 100% of our attention (no cell phones, texting, or multi-tasking) in addition to the bedtime routine and reading. This usually is enough, but on tough days, more time might be needed. Actually on really rough days, no amount of attention seems to be enough! I’m sure many of you understand oh so well what I’m talking about here!
Interrupting is annoying to me and to others (especially those without children). The ability to wait and not interrupt, seems to be one of the most important pillars of good manners. Because of this, we continue to work on it and compliment him when he is able to wait. If you are the parent of a TBP, you know that we do not accept these controlling and manipulative behaviors sitting down. It’s just sometimes, we NEED to sit down for that moment. And then before too long, we get back up and try it again! | 2019-04-25T20:23:56Z | https://mytwicebakedpotato.com/2012/05/28/mama-mama-mama/ |

As an Occupational Therapist, I have always strived to maintain good sitting posture, be aware of my office ergonomics and live a healthy and active lifestyle. So it is somewhat alarming to realise that 30 minutes of exercise every day is not enough to counter-act the effects of sitting all day at work.
From a personal perspective I was quietly excited to think that there was something else that I could do for my health rather than face that run that I dread every afternoon, but from a professional perspective I realised that it would be a challenge to change the habits and expectation of what a typical office worker should do all day…….SIT.
Researchers have linked sitting for long periods of time with a number of health concerns, including obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels.
Research shows that reduced sitting could have a considerable impact on cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
The health burden associated with insufficient physical activity is likely to far exceed the health burden of associated computer-related musculo-skeletal disorders.
Humans weren’t designed to be so immobile – just think back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors. As an Occupational Therapist I am well aware of the benefit and very proactive in my support for ergonomic chairs in the work place (and the reasons for those will fill another blog another time!) – but these ergonomic improvements are not enough to off-set the health issues associated with prolonged sitting.
So, how long should we stand at work? | 2019-04-25T08:29:58Z | http://cwrs.com.au/health-impact-prolonged-sitting/ |

After rebranding from beverages to a blockchain company, Long Blockchain says it is refocusing yet again and launching operations related to gift cards, as well as naming a new CEO.
The Farmingdale-based firm said it has formed a new subsidiary, Stran Loyalty Group, focused on providing loyalty, incentive, reward and gift card programs to corporate and consumer brands.
The firm also appointed Andy Shape as chairman and CEO, focusing on the loyalty business. He succeeds Shamyl Malik who will step down.
The company said that Shape, the founder and president of Stran Promotional Solutions, has more than 25 years of merchandising, marketing, branding, licensing and management experience.
Prior to forming Stran Promotional Solutions, he worked at Copithorne & Bellows Public Relations, a Porter Novelli company, as an account executive covering the technology industry.
The company said its goal is to “implement disruptive technology solutions, including distributed ledger technology,” in the loyalty industry.
“At this time, however, the company has not taken any steps toward developing any such technology and does not employ personnel with the relevant technology expertise,” the firm said.

Would you love to work with us but you live outside of Southern California?
Thanks to the magic of the Internet, we can now offer our fabulous dog training programs to anyone, no matter your location! How? Skype of course!
Our Skype dog training programs will function very similarly to our more traditional private dog training programs—you'll get one-on-one, customized training sessions with one of our acclaimed trainers via Skype. All of the high-quality, thoughtful, scientifically-proven methods and love for your dog that you will find in our private programs, just in digital form.
We have been developing this concept for a while, and we have found that doing programs via Skype has some pretty great advantages!
Because there is no commute, we can get super flexible with scheduling! Now, no matter where you live you can take advantage of Tully’s Training techniques, tools, and most importantly, results! What used to be available to a select few, is now available to all.
Whether you are in San Francisco, New York, or in the middle of nowhere - we can work with you. You can reap the benefits of professional, experienced, and knowledgeable trainers who have a proven track record of giving dog owners amazing results.
Now your pup won’t even know we are there! This allows us to see how your dog is naturally behaving. Many times our clients tell us, “He is so good when you're here!” In dog training sessions via Skype, we get to see how your dog behaves as if nobody new is in the environment.
Because we don’t have to drive to your home, we can price these programs less than our traditional programs. Now, we aren’t cheap—we'll tell you that upfront. We are a premium dog training service. We give you customized training programs, one-on-one attention, and a ton of other perks that we can discuss during your free consultation.
Very similarly to any program with us, first we need some information from you. Fill out your information and make sure to specify that you are interested in Online Skype Training.
Do Skype Dog Training Sessions actually work?
Absolutely! Part of our free consultation is to determine the program that works best for you and your dog so that you see the best results in the shortest amount of time possible. Because we are essentially training the people, not the dog, Skype sessions allow us to see the problems you are having and work you through them. When necessary we can use our own dogs to show you how to work through troublesome behavior.
Why wouldn’t I use a dog trainer where I live?
You can do that! However, you found us and that’s because we are very good at what we do. We’ve been featured on Nat Geo Wild, Inspire Health Magazine, Autostraddle.com, and San Diego News 6. We've worked with hundreds of different species, at some of the top zoos and aquariums in the world. We have been mentored by some of the best animal trainers the industry has to offer. This isn’t a hobby or side job for us, like many dog trainers. This is our career. This is something we have studied, practiced, and dedicated our lives to.
You can see that in the two cities we work in we have an average Yelp rating of 4.9 stars! The trainers who helped achieve this rating are the same trainers you will be working with. We only use humane, positive reinforcement training techniques that get results. This is an opportunity to work with Los Angeles based all-star trainers without leaving your home.
Can I use Facetime or another digital platform instead?
Of course! In fact, sometimes we will ask our clients to Facetime problems that may be occurring out of site of the computer or outside of the house. This way we can “be there” and observe everything you are seeing and give you the tools necessary to combat these behavioral problems.
I am still skeptical about skype sessions. How do I know this will work?
We understand why you would be skeptical about digital dog training. This is obviously very different than the traditional dog owner-dog trainer relationship. While we can never guarantee training will work, (it all depends on your commitment and application of the tools we give you), we do have a track record that speaks for itself. If you are still skeptical, give us a chance! Sign-up for our free, no obligation, Skype consultation to see if we are a right fit for you. We will go over all your dog training goals, answer all of your questions, and prepare a customized program for you and your canine friend! At the end of the consultation if you are still not impressed, then there is no obligation! If you excited to get started, (and we are confident you will be), we can start the training right there on the spot! | 2019-04-22T12:58:33Z | https://tullystraining.com/online-dog-training-sessions |
Fencing – will we never learn!
This morning we were awoken by a phone call. It was to tell us that some of our sheep had gone awandering. Again. Now this shouldn’t be a huge surprise as they have been getting out recently, but I thought I’d actually found their main egress route, and blocked it. Sadly I was wrong.
Usually the escapees are the cross-bred boys, with the occasional pure bred Soay. None of the OAPs wander, I think they’re quite happy where they are thank-you-very-much. This morning the usual suspects had been joined by all the other non-OAPs, for a total of twelve wandering sheep.
We quickly jumped into the car and drove round to where they’d been spotted. We found them quickly, and I started towards them with my trusty bucket. Usually they would run towards me, but not today. They were rather spooked. I suspect that they’d met a few people out walking their dogs and this had put them in rather a fluster. Instead we did the human sheep dog thing, and soon had them heading in the right direction. They’d clearly had enough of an adventure, and were happy to be heading home. I stayed on after them, both to make sure they didn’t change their minds, and also to see where they’d got out, and within a few minutes they were all safely back in their field.
Recently their method of escape has been to jump over the fence, so I was expecting them to jump back in. Instead they seemed to walk back in without any real problems. When I got to that part of the fence I found that a whole section had come loose, and they could just walk in and out. I was rather lucky the cows hadn’t decided they needed to wander as well!
We got out the fencing supplies and went to work to fix up the fence, and we also took another look at all the other fencing to see what other weaknesses they might be exploiting. I have to admit that recently I’ve only been looking at where they have been jumping, so have been a bit lax at checking the bottom of the mesh. It looks like they’ve taken advantage of this and pushed it up in several places, and indeed that’s how they’d freed up the loose section. An hour or so later, with some judicious use of wooden beams, some random branches and a reasonable number of fencing staples, and I was relatively confident that the fencing would hold our escape committee for at least a few days.
However, I also decided that wasn’t going to be enough. Clearly those boys would continue challenging the fence, so I needed to do something about it. They’re actually due to go on holiday fairly soon, so maybe it was time to move them in with the Borerays, who happen to be occupying the pre-holiday field at the moment. So next job is going to be to move them!
Also, obviously, at some point I’m going to need to get the whole fence on the bottom field redone. Something else to look forward to.
When we acquired the Borerays we gained not only two breeding ewes and a ram, but also two whethers and an old ewe. The old ewe we dubbed ‘Duchess’ and we both became fond of her. She was a very friendly ewe, and would usually run up to us whenever she saw us, and happily eat out of our hands, the only one of the Borerays to consistently do so.
She was rather old, and over the last few days has had problems standing. She was still eating fine, but was rather weak, and needed help to get up a couple of times. This morning when I went out to feed the sheep I found her in her little hut. She wasn’t moving at all any more. I think she’d only just died. Poor duchess, but at least she had a fair innings. | 2019-04-24T06:17:06Z | http://jasonmgibbs.co.uk/wallowinginpoo/tag/boreray/ |

This is an easy to make natural sports drink recipe that uses the power of maple syrup. So what’s so great about maple syrup, seems just like sugar right? Maple sugar actually has 63 phytonutrients that give it antioxidant properties similar to berries, red wine and tea. Who knew?! Well I sure didn’t. This is important because antioxidants help with cleaning up damage done from regular exercise or training that happens to your muscle tissue and cells. See my post on Free Radicals vs. Antioxidants. So the antioxidants in maple sugar can actually help speed up your recovery time. Also, maple sugar can actually help your immune system to be strengthened as it contains natural electrolytes, minerals, and trace vitamins that boost your immune system. Hmmm…How about some healthy protein pancakes with that syrup?!
Makes two 16-ounce bottles. Aim to drink one per hour on the bike. If you’ll be riding for more than 90 minutes, combine with a snack to meet your energy needs (about 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour).

To describe clinical aspects of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus-associated pneumonia in children, we studied 80 such children, including 17 (21%) with complications, who were admitted to 5 hospitals in Japan during August-November 2009 after a mean of 2.9 symptomatic days. All enrolled patients recovered (median hospitalization 6 days). Timely access to hospitals may have contributed to favorable outcomes. | 2019-04-20T01:15:29Z | https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/18197 |

Christmas shopping is a terrifying, stressful experience that we have to confront each and every year. It has the power to turn normally courteous and considerate people into raving lunatics with absolutely no sense of human decency. To do it well, to find gifts that will make your loved ones really feel loved, is a bit of an art that can take a lot of practice. I have some suggestions that will hopefully steer you in the right path and clear up some common misconceptions about the subject.
First and foremost, it is absolutely essential to wait until the very last minute. We all know someone who gets all their shopping done before Thanksgiving, so that they can relax (and brag) all through December. This may seem like a good idea, but I assure you it’s not. These people are not to be trusted. They are likely foreign spies or androids sent to destroy Christmas. Experienced shoppers know that the best ideas come when your back is against the wall, when you have think outside the box and really dig down to come up with that special gift. In truth, anything purchased before December 23’rd is likely to be boring and uninspired.
Another common mistake is to read Christmas lists. This is an absolute no-no. Any hack can go out and buy something off a list of things their Mother-in-Law claims she actually wants. If you want to show someone that you love them, pick up something that you think they should have, maybe even something that you’d really like for yourself. It shows that you are selfless as well as thoughtful. Your Mother in Law will greatly appreciate it and forget all about that little “incident” during Thanksgiving dinner.
Lastly, store selection is crucial. Since you should only have a few days (or hours) left before you buy a single gift, efficiency is everything. You’ll want to choose a locale that is easy to get to and carries gifts for the whole family. Malls may seem like the obvious choice, but you should resist them at all costs. By the time you park your car and safely navigate to the necessary stores, it may already be too late. My advice is to hit up your nearest Wal-Mart or comparable all-in-one store. Also, remember that gas stations often have a wide variety of gifts to choose from and are easily accessible from the highway.
Hopefully these suggestions will make your holiday a little bit easier. Christmas can be a trying time, but if you follow my advice and trust your gut, you’ll get through it. If not, there are always gift cards. | 2019-04-20T17:01:58Z | http://www.stepbystep.com/A-Brief-Guide-to-Christmas-Shopping-for-the-Rest-of-Us-136211/ |

Any other trail is good if you like long XC rides.
The trail is fast with technical sections filled with rocks and roots with lots of JUMPS and some single track sections the trail is 1.9 miles long.
Any other trail if you like XC fun.
Echo Ridge was developed as a cross-country ski area by the U.S. Forest Service. It has 18 miles of trail cut into the hillsides. There are a number of options available to the rider depending on their experience.
One of my favorites is to ride from the Echo Valley Ski Area up the Forest Service road to the Echo Ridge Parking lot. This insures that you have earned a great downhill run through Bergman Gulch.
From the Ridge parking lot, head out to Grand Junction. At the GJ kiosk, look to your right. Between the two trails is a fun single track which takes the rider to Chaos Corner. From there head on down Alley Oop and do that loop which will bring you back to Chaos Corner. Then head up Windsinger to Grand Junction. From there head up Ridge View or go out Morning Glory to 5-Corners. Hit Little Critter. Keep your eye open for the single track taking off to the right after you have ridden most of Little Critter. This will dump you at North Junction at the beginning of the 1.9 mile Gulch. It is fast, sometimes technical and definitely dangerous if you hit a huge water bar going to fast. Your ride ends back at Echo Valley.
There are close to 20 plus miles of trails, old jammer (logging) roads, fire roads and xc ski trails open to Mountain Bikers. Pick up a map at the Chelan Ranger District located next to the Caravel Resort.
The Gulch rocks, if you have a shuttle to the top. Echo Ridge XC trails are good, plenty of different trails to ride. Plenty of jumps on the gulch and lots of different spurs off the main trail, look for them. | 2019-04-21T23:26:26Z | https://www.mtbr.com/trails/united-states/washington/Chelan/echo-ridge.html |

I've started work on an autumn layout for my Seasons out of Time journal project, and it is going to involve cascades of beautiful autumn foliage falling down the pages, and I wanted it to be bright and vibrant and in shades of orange, red, brown, and yellow with hints of green maybe. I decided to combine my Dylusions ink sprays and Tim Holtz Distress spray stain to get the colours I wanted, prepare a tag as a good surface then stamp on some leaves I could later cut out and glue onto the layout once it's ready and then they'll stand out and look beautiful. This layout is called "Les Feuilles Mortes" (the dead leaves) after the 1945 song, which was re-released in English translation in the same year of course as "Autumn Leaves" - obviously because the layout is based on falling, autumn leaves.
This is by no means a complete project, just one of maybe a dozen elements that will make up this layout, but it made a beautiful autumnal colourway and I wanted to share that.
STEP 1: I first sprayed the tag in a generous coat of Lemon Zest rather than spraying it with water - the wetness will help the brighter, darker colours to blend and will fill any gaps with a beautiful yellow.
STEP 2: I sprayed Tangerine Dream and Fresh Lime over most of the tag.
STEP 3: Immediately, I switched to the Distress spray stain and added Carved Pumpkin and Vintage Photo. As you can see from the photo above, they don't all sit 'equally' on the page. The reason: Distress stains have a different density and hydrophobicity to the Dylusions products. To analogise firstly ionic strength. If you were to mix a very salty solution with pure tap water, you'll get all sorts of swirling and mixing and clear mixing lines visible in it (Schlieren as the Germans call it) - you can try it out and see - this is because one has far more salt dissolved in it and thus when it mixes with the other, they try and equal out and the salt tries to move around and equilibrate it - that's owing to both liquids having different densities - if you dissolve 200g of salt in 1,000mL water, then 1mL of that water has a mass of 1.2g (1mL water = 1g, plus the 0.2g salt in every 1mL), therefore, it has a density of 1.2g/mL - in short, they will try and equal out and you'll see mixing/swirling/etc happen, or, if they were mixed more slowly, the water will sit on top of the salt water and form separate layers. Hydrophobicity is a measure of how much something wants to adhere to surfaces and not be in a water-based solution - in this context, it's really a measure of "does this dye molecule want to be joined to paper or in solution?" - so what happens is that one of them adheres rapidly to the paper, one of them more slowly.
What does this mean in practice? It means you get amazing patterns - you get the two different products mixing slowly and naturally and producing mixes of colour in close proximity without making mud.
STEP 4: I left it without touching it at all to dry for 24h and it looked beautiful! I then stamped the open/spotty leaves stamp from the Branching Out set onto it with Wendy Vecchi's beautiful Potting Soil Archival Ink - this is an oil-based ink so it won't lift the products underneath. I didn't apply it perfectly - I wanted a rough look. When my journal pages are ready, I will cut out all the whole leaves and adhere them to the pages individually. I LOVE the colours this has produced! Every leaf is totally unique and has texture and usually 2-3 colours. I had planned to stamp with some random texture over this to add interest but I really don't need to now! | 2019-04-21T01:19:41Z | http://www.the-spin-doctor.co.uk/2017/09/seasons-out-of-time-layout-les-feuilles.html |
